The untamed peaty beast of Islay balancing smoke and sweetness
An iconic Islay powerhouse that balances intense peaty smoke with complex fruity sweetness. This legendary single malt delivers a masterclass in coastal brine, bold citrus, and deep, tarry complexity.
Shake the blended Scotch, lemon juice, and honey-ginger syrup with ice, then strain into a rocks glass over a large ice cube. Gently float the Ardbeg Single Malt on top using the back of a bar spoon.

Founded officially by John Macdougall in 1815, Ardbeg faced several closures during the 20th century before being triumphantly revived in 1997. Today, it is celebrated worldwide by a passionate cult following known as the Ardbeg Committee for its uncompromisingly peated whiskies.
Deep on the shores of Islay, the Ardbeg distillery & rickhouse has been harnessing the untamed, peaty waters of Loch Uigeadail since 1815. Known for using a purifier on their still, they achieve an unmatched harmony of heavy smoke and delicate floral fruitiness.
